The Indo-Israel relations underwent hiccups when India voted against United States’ decision to make Jerusalem the capital of Israel, but it seems both the countries are over the past as they signed nine agreements on Monday including on Homeopathy and Cybersecurity to take forward the trade ties beyond diamond and defence.

The agreements were signed following delegation-level talks headed by Prime Ministers Narendra Modi and Benjamin Netanyahu in New Delhi. Interestingly, Benjamin Netanyahu, on Sunday, called Indo-Israel relationship a “marriage made in heaven”, and assured that one UN vote will not affect the ties between the two countries, which last year celebrated 25 years of diplomatic relations.

The nine agreements signed between the two countries will take Indo-Isreal trade ties beyond diamond and defence as proposed by Israel in 2007. Israel had proposed negotiations on a free trade agreement with India, which was accepted by India in 2010 then Prime Minister Manmohan Singh. Since the establishment of diplomatic relations between India and Israel in 1992, trade ties have comprised primarily of diamonds.

While India’s exports to Israel in areas other than diamonds have increased over the years, diamonds continued to constitute around 49% of the bilateral trade in the year 2010. Besides diamond, the defence has also been important for both countries.

India is Israel’s biggest arms market, buying around $1 billion worth of weapons every year. However, India had cancelled $500 million order to Israel’s state-owned defence contractor Rafael for home-made anti-tank missiles, which Israel is confident of solving.

Here is the list of MoUs/Agreements signed between India and Israel:

1. MoU on Cybersecurity Cooperation between India and Israel

2. MoU between the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas and the Ministry of Energy on Cooperation in Oil and Gas Sector

3. Protocol between India and Israel on Amendments to the Air Transport Agreement

4. Agreement on Film-co-production between India and Israel

5. MoU between the Central Council for Research in Homeopathy, Ministry of AYUSH and the Centre for Integrative Complementary Medicine, Shaare Zedek Medical Center on Cooperation in the field of Research in Homeopathic Medicine

6. MoU between Indian Institute of Space Science and Technology (IIST) and the Technion- Israel Institute of Technology for cooperation in the field of space

7. Memorandum of Intent between Invest India and Invest in Israel

8. Letter of Intent between IOCL and Phinergy Ltd. For cooperation in the area of metal-air batteries

9. Letter of Intent between IOCL and Yeda Research and Development Co Ltd for cooperation in the area of concentrated solar thermal technologies

Israel will also invest $68.6 million to boost cooperation with India in areas like tourism, technology, agriculture and innovation over a period of four years. The commitment is in addition to the India-Israel Industrial R&D and Technological Innovation Fund of $40 million over five years.

Earlier on Monday, the Israeli Prime Minister was accorded a ceremonial welcome at the Rashtrapati Bhavan. Benjamin Netanyahu, accompanied by a 130-member business delegation, arrived here on Sunday on a six-day visit to India. The Israeli Prime Minister will also visit Agra, Ahmedabad and Mumbai. This is the first Prime Ministerial visit from Israel to India in 15 years after that of Ariel Sharon in 2003.

Over many years, thousands of students of Prof. Vithoulkas who had received the Diploma from the International Academy of Classical Homeopathy had asked if they could organise themselves into a Union (a form of Alumni). There were so many requests from Diploma holders that the Academy finally decided to help these homeopaths develop their own independent Union specifically intended for medical doctors, dentists and veterinary professionals.

The purpose
Never before in the history of homeopathy has there been an association consisting of members who had had a uniform education, and who spoke a common scientific language concerning matters relating to the original effective homeopathy as had been taught by Hahnemann, Kent and, more recently, by Vithoulkas.

Such a Union (U.Di.Ho.P) may well be the starting point for a global standardised homeopathic education with the prime aim of accomplishing the real beneficial effects of this unique healing modality.

The Union (U.Di.Ho.P) is envisaged to have a Forum through which Members will be able to organise:

a. open congresses with invitations to different teachers,

b. international meetings for Members only,

c. discussions within the Forum for Members about the different problems homeopaths encounter today with their cases.

The benefits of being a member
By attaining a Diploma from the Academy, a doctor, dentist or veterinary professional is granted the privilege of automatically becoming a Member of the Union, U.Di.Ho.P.

The benefits
a. the Member will be able to participate in discussions concerning problems or questions stemming from his or her practice, or the practice of other Members,
b. the Member shall have access to information concerning current news about medicine in general, news about vaccinations, and interesting developments concerning aspects of homeopathy and ongoing research,
c. Members will have the possibility of contributing and discussing their own ideas in developing further the science of homeopathy,
d. the names and addresses of Members may be made available to those who are searching for doctors holding a Diploma from the Academy.

Associate Members
Pharmacists and homeopathic practitioners who hold Diplomas from the International Academy of Classical Homeopathy are granted the privilege of automatically becoming Associate Members of the Union, U.Di.Ho.P.

Contributions
The total cost of the expenses for the initial formation of the Union (U.Di.Ho.P) (legal expenses, secretariat, etc.) will be covered by the International Academy of Classical Homeopathy, including the costs for the first year of its functioning. After the second year the annual subscription for each Member will be ten (10) euros.

At the end of 2019, there will be an electronic election for the new Committee.
